Away from it all

LUXEMBOURG (Reuter) - A family of four locked themselves in their cellar for two weeks to avoid the shame of their neighbours in Steinfort finding out they could not afford to go away on holiday. The family told their neighbours they were heading south to the sun, locked the house, hid the car in the garage and then spent the next fortnight camping in their damp cellar. Police spotted light through a chink in the shutters and burst in thinking it might be burglars.
